"... splendid ... At times, A Map for the Missing brings to mind George Orwell's 1984, though unlike that novel's dystopian England (called Airstrip One), the chilling and deeply sad China depicted here is real ... Along with Yitian, Hanwen and Yitian's parents, Tang brings additional secondary characters to life, such Yitian's beloved, broken grandfather and the unhappy girls who labor on the farm with Hanwen. The novel's many teachers, police officers, clerks, shopkeepers and other bureaucrats are individuals and never interchangeable ... It's astonishing that A Map for the Missing is Tang's debut novel. This 400-page book, whose protagonist navigates a purgatory of twists and turns, red herrings and dead ends, is gripping from its first page to its last."
